Chapter 276 It’s our duty!

"Hui Lin, how is Nan Ying doing?"

October 10, 18pm, in an apartment near the South Korean Chess Institute.

Ice Queen Kim Woo-eun is having a video call with her second striker An Huilin who is far away in Japan.

Today, vanguard Xu Nanying was driven down by Rui Zhao and was in a state of emotional collapse. As the core of the team, the Ice Queen naturally had to say hello to her again.

This time, the only players sent to the front line by the South Korean team in the first stage were Heo Nanying and An Huilin.

This match arrangement was decided before the start of the competition. If nothing unexpected happens, Angelababy will play the day after tomorrow, which is the last match of the first stage.

Facing the Queen's question, Angela's face now looked much better than it did at noon:

"Nan Ying has recovered a lot since noon, and has even started preparing to train again!"

"So soon?"

The Ice Queen was a little surprised at this answer.

"You didn't want to say a word at noon, but now you're fully recovered?"

"Well...happiness is all about comparison."

An Huilin thought about it and still smiled helplessly:
"Actually... I wasn't very good at first. I was just standing there with red eyes and looking dazed the whole afternoon.

"But in the evening, when I told her about Takuya's tragic loss in the game, she suddenly felt that she wasn't that miserable, and she cheered up a lot..."

"..."

The Ice Queen didn't know what to say for a moment, and even felt a little sympathy for the Japanese chess master.

No wonder when Xiao Liu returned home from the Wuyue Cup, he said that his view on Lei Qi was similar to his view on Rui Zhao...

Well……

Speaking of which, these two pioneers of China are a pair of evil spirits, a male and a female!

It’s a relief that Xiao Liu can still sit back and relax every day despite such a situation.

Jin Youen secretly complained in his heart, and then responded casually:

"I hope everything goes well for Nanying...

"But Huilin... I just want to hear your opinion:

"Japan has announced their second-best player for tomorrow's challenge, and that's the talented girl Kamisaka Rei.

"Who do you think will win tomorrow, her or Rui Zhao?"

"what?"

Angelababy's expression froze, as if she had not expected Kim Woo-eun to suddenly ask this question.

But soon, she came to her senses and answered truthfully:

“This...is obvious!
"My answer is the same as yours, Sister Youen!"

Although Kim Yoo-eun has never discussed with An Huilin who she is more optimistic about in this game.

But since the other party said so, it means that some of my unintentional little actions have betrayed me.

So the Queen skipped the step of reconfirmation and asked directly:
"……reason?"

“In recent days, I have also read some of Xiao Nanying’s pre-match research.

"To be honest, Uesaka Rei is indeed very talented, but when compared to Rui Zhao... there is still a gap.

"Although both of them have a record of defeating high-level chess players head-on, it is a recognized fact that Chinese high-level chess players are generally stronger than Japanese high-level chess players. So in terms of the upper limit, Rui Zhao is obviously higher - I believe Sister Youen has also experienced this."

Jin Youen pursed his lips and nodded slightly.

Although Rui Zhaojun has not performed at the high level of that famous game in the past three months, Jin Youen still can't forget that game.

Angelina continued:

"...In terms of stability, Rui Zhao is clearly better than Uesaka Rei.

"In the past two months, although Uesaka Rei has won against high-ranking players, she has also lost to low-ranking mediocre players. Her stability is not outstanding even among female players.

"Since Rui Zhao was promoted to the dan rank, except for the inexplicable loss to an unknown 2nd dan player in his first domestic match, he has never lost to a player below 5th dan since then!

"I won the championship in the new first-dan tournament, and I am still undefeated in the Women's Go League. I even broke the record for the fastest promotion to the second dan in China in the Changqi Cup preliminaries a month ago!
"As a female chess player, to be honest, I think her lower limit is incredibly stable."

The reason why An Huilin praised Rui Zhao's stability so much is that due to limitations in physical strength, physiology and emotional control, the stability of most female chess players is not ideal.

Even someone as strong as the Ice Queen only became more stable after her concentration increased in the past two years. When she was in her early twenties, she still dared to lose to anyone!
Female chess players like Rui Zhao who can "fight well in high-level games and win surely in low-level games" are so rare that one has to admire her!
Jin Youen, who has been collecting Rui Zhao's information and recent situation intensively since the Wu Yue Cup, sighed and said:
“…There’s nothing strange about this, Huilin.

"If you only think about Go, you can control your emotions.

"If you spend every day playing Go, you will never let oil touch your copper coins."

"Oil...stained the copper coin?"

An Huilin, who was not familiar with this traditional Chinese story, was a little confused for a moment.

...

...

"...Shinto, how is that baka Ichijo now?"

At nine o'clock in the evening of the same day, Chunzhuang Hotel.

Looking at Hiroaki Shindo coming out of Takuya Ichijo's room, Aoi Natsukawa, who was waiting outside, couldn't help but ask softly, while walking towards the elevator with her old friend.

"Uh……"

After a brief silence, the former No. 1 in Japan made a small suggestion:
"...Aoi, Ichijo is so miserable, can you stop calling him 'baka'?"

But Xiachuan Aoi didn't think there was anything wrong with her:
"I definitely won't yell in front of him! But he is indeed a bastard..."

"Hey! Ichijo put aside his status as the number one and volunteered to be the vanguard to ambush Raiki!" The female Honinbo did not deny this:
“That’s indeed true!

"But he only has a lot of energy but no corresponding ability. Isn't this a typical hot-blooded idiot?
"Besides, the reason why we were beaten so badly today was because he played such a big spoon in just forty or fifty moves, right?"

"Ah this..."

For a moment, the 26th Honinbo Hiromitsu was speechless.

And after hearing these words, even he began to feel that Ichijo Takuya did seem to have some badass attributes...

Seeing his old friend was embarrassed, Xia Chuan Aoi did not make things difficult for him and directly changed the subject:

"Okay! Let's not dwell on the details - how did Yitiao turn out?"

Shindo Hiroaki said truthfully:

"He couldn't accept the loss just now, so he lost his composure a bit.

"But... he's not a very sensitive person. Besides, he's played in so many games. He has the [Go Saint] and [Honinbo] titles in his hands. He must have seen all kinds of situations!

"Now he has basically recovered and just joked with me that he has decided not to use social media for three months."

"That's good!"

Xia Chuan breathed a sigh of relief:

"Luckily he's a bastard..."

"Ok?"

"Hey, nothing!"

Natsukawa Aoi stretched out her tone and changed the subject:

"If you have nothing else to do, go back. I still need to look for Li-chan. She came from Kansai this afternoon and stayed here."

The Japanese throne was somewhat surprised when he heard this:

"Huh? It's so late, shouldn't Uesaka go to bed early?

"After all...she's only a twelve-year-old! And she has a competition tomorrow!"

"Hey! Those old guys from the chess academy insisted that I go find her, what can I do!"

Natsukawa Aoi's eyes were full of helplessness.

"Because Yitiao lost this game so badly, the domestic Internet is now in a state of outrage.

"In order to relieve the pressure quickly, the old men specifically told me to go and talk to Li-chan and tell her to win tomorrow's game..."

Shindo's eyes widened immediately:
"Hey, hey! Uesaka is so small! And her opponent is that Rui Zhao...

"That Rui Zhao who just defeated the South Korean vanguard by forty or fifty points!
"If we give her this as a pre-match mobilization, I'm afraid it will put a lot of pressure on her and cause her to perform poorly..."

"Of course I know that!"

The leader of the Japanese women's team interrupted directly.

"I was just pretending to be there, to give some encouragement and chat! Who would really say these things to a child..."

"But I'm twelve years old! I'm not a kid anymore!"

"You're only twelve years old, why not...eh?"

Natsukawa Aoi was halfway through her words when she suddenly realized something was wrong.

However, not far in front of him, there stood a girl with some baby fat, about ten years old, whose appearance was very much in line with the aesthetic standards of Japanese people - it was the rising star of the Japanese chess world, Kamisaka Rei!

"Rei-chan!"

Xia Chuan Aoi hurriedly went up to him:
"Why did you sneak out alone so late? Where's your mother?"

"Mom is still in the room!"

Uesaka Rei answered crisply:
"I said I wanted to come alone to comfort Brother Xiayi and chat with you, Sister Aoi, and Mom agreed!

"After all, I'm twelve years old. I'm all grown up!"

"Uh..." ×2
The two Honinbos were a little confused about what the girl said.

But before the two of them could say anything, the girl continued:

"Sister Kui, everyone hopes that I can defeat China's Vanguard tomorrow, right?"

"Ah...everyone would be very happy if Rei-chan could win!"

Knowing that the other party had heard her conversation, Xia Chuan Aoi carefully chose her words:

"But it doesn't matter if I really lose. After all, Li-chan is still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future..."

"Sister Aoi, I've already told you that I'm grown up!"

The little girl complained again and emphasized:

"Tomorrow, I will definitely defeat Rui Zhao!"

"Eh?"×2
The two adults were shocked again. They didn't expect that the little girl in front of them would be so determined!

And Uesaka Rei continued to speak in a serious manner:
"This afternoon, when I rushed to the hotel, I saw a brother sitting on a chair crying. This scene will be unforgettable for me.

“At that moment I thought, if I stand in the ring, I must win it all.

"Brother Ichijo has made great contributions to our success in Japanese Go. But...

"It is our duty to restore Japan's glory!"
